YutzWithAHorse
Yeah but I don't think it's cocked until it's pointed away
Plus he removed his finger from the trigger before spinning but I see your point
Rtkwe
It's not cocked and firable again till it's pointled at the ground and coming back up at least.
More importantly we never see him fire it after doing the spin so it is probably loaded with a single shell and empty before the spin starts
Iamtoofuckinghighforthisshit
I agree with this, but in the slow mo, it does look like his body is off to the left of the spin.
Also doesn’t help any body behind him, but still.

The gun isn't technically reloaded until it is facing the ground. That's when the new shell enters the receiver and starts to seat.

JustAnotherCynicToo
Second rule of gun safety: Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
BearToof
While I’d never do that, I’d also never jump out of a plane or of a cliff. As long as he’s minding safety of others, I’m okay.

I bet you're fun at parties
More fun than the guy who accidentally shoots himself in the face when playing with a gun he swore wasn't loaded.
I'm not, but at least I'm alive and in one piece on the rare occasions when I go to one
I see you getting baited left and right by the imgur mob and I just wanted to say I've been enjoying your responses. Keeping it light.
Unlike all the dead people at those parties
k4FoodSmasher
Mfw I realize Zombie parties are a thing.
When someone says something reasonable, saying "you must be fun at parties" is plain dumb.
tmgome905
You must be fun at parties.
From a ritual safety perspective the whole drill is an atrocity. If you take it rationally, the gun has open chamber all the circle around.
Zcarsnarl
Gatzarlok
If you take it rationally, it's slower than just cocking it normally. Plus who the fuck uses a lever action these days.
Well, all that thing is about safety. Slow or fast, the efficiency of that is a completely different matter. There are indeed better options
Oh I know it's pretty safe, you're more likely to get your fingers caught in the lever than shot yourself... but a semi-auto is the safest.
Assfullofbread
Je could only use one hand because he was riding a motorcycle. And levers are fucking cool. I got a nice little .22 it’s fun
Notme68
It's the one handed thing. Looks cool.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
Unless you fuck up.
Exactly. That's what safety rituals are for. You don't do it, even if you think you are safe and have it all covered. Because mistakes.
AliitOriShyaTalDin
Given who that is in the gif he probably had only one round loaded but I agree, it's just a bad habit to get into.
Remmon1
This. It's not loaded until it's all the way around and about to back in his hand.
KarlMoebius
It's loaded, but out of battery from about 1/4 to 1/2, but isn't brought into battery until the end.
AmericanAdvocate
You are correct. People who downvote you don't understand the difference between a "loaded" and "hot" or "ready" gun
It is loaded. It is not in a configuration when it will discharge. So technically this drill is a breach of every safety rule. //
As much as I can judge, that drill is safe if it all is done properly. But the rules do cover the cases when shooters hand slips or he //
gets distracted or otherwise safe situation turns into unsafe one. You just don't point the gun in unsafe direction.
It’s not loaded yet, that’s what they’re doing lol
Um, I'm assuming if he's cycling another shell then it absolutely is loaded, no reason to have a loaded weapon pointed at yourself
ChrisHemsworthsBulge
The 1887 wasn't fully chambered 'til it was pointed down at the ground. Sure it's not safe, but there are certainly dumber things out there.
Or maybe a little sooner maybe at your foot, or leg. Too many variables when handling a weapon like he is when it can easily kill you
ElbowDeepInMythicalCreatures
Once the shot is fired, the shell is empty as there is nothing in it. This makes the weapon safe to point wherever until chambered again.
Senderella
I could think of a couple reasons... *depression intensifies*
TheWookersquatch
It finishes loading when the lever is pulled back against the gun. That's what pushes the shell in. That happens when it's pointed away.
To me loaded means there are shells or bullets in the weapon, doesn't matter when its chambered, still plenty of variables
jRockboneham
Just ask my friend who accidentally shot the wall and poached 3 of my wife’s dresses hanging in the closet on the other side with my 12 Ga.
GannoMemeSlayer
First rule of gun safety is to look down the barrel to check if it’s loaded tho
ctennessen
Maybe if you're James May yeah
tomwaits
Second rule is to make pewpew noises to alert nearby people that you are firing your weapon.
Mobius550
Obviously he means BESIDES that.
drunkbs
I use this technique. v
Felberin
Often omited step is to see if the hammer hits the empty chamber when you pull the trigger
FelixG
Scurix

LasciviousHedgehog
Wasn't his finger in the breach and he was checking for ice in the barrel.
HtCtiwtchyk
You're not really supposed to look down the barrel under any circumstances.
Anthrenar
Multiple redundancies
SGRogers
If you watch the video carefully, the chamber of the 1887 is empty nearly the entire time of the spin where the barrel isn't aimed downrange
Goodmerlinpeen
Nearly...
Even if it's not empty, the gun is out of battery, meaning it will not fire.
FallingStar7669
You are technically correct, but the point is, it's a fatal habit to get into.
So don't make it a habit?
... Yes... you don't make it a habit... by not allowing a gun to be pointed at you at any time, no matter what. That's... the point...
Watch the video. At no point is the gun pointed at him.
NapoleonDynOmite
I'm never going shooting with you. If you're gonna mince words about whether or not a gun was loaded and where the barrel was pointed
Not mincing words; simple observation.
SithElephant
Unless you have a misfire, fuck up, in which case you have a small fraction of a second to react before doing something lethal accidentally
Cool! Maybe listen for the bang and watch for the flash (meaning no misfire) before doing this reload?
LupusLilium
I agree, the weapon is considered empty. People who panic about that sort of move via someone who's trained and knowledgeable of the weapon
just because it 'points at something wrong' are also people who transport weapons in the same situation laying on their side while driving
blank00009
That observation can be correct while basic gun safety principles are there because people die when they are ignored.
flawlesssoul
People die when firearms are handled normally, because they're tools designed for killing.
I'm not ignoring any principle; the gun is empty or out of battery until the lever is fully returned to its closed position.
OhCrapIDidntMeanToPickThisName
Every gun is live, even when it isnt.
madeaweirdcommentchangedmyname
As a rule of thumb for safety, sure. But if you're not an idiot, and you're the only one on the range, you should be aight.
alfrzernebog
He's presumably a professional and knows the risk in what he's doing. It's no different than stunt jumps or sky diving etc. Let'em have fun.
Interesting understanding of a binary occurrence
Goatsarepeople
Incorrect, guns are not living things.
o4kill
I thought of a gun the other day and I think that automatically makes it loaded. Ah mon cherie brrrt, i shall return to you.
2/2 a fair distance away at the ground in front of the target. Even then the shotgun is out of battery and isnt likely to go off.
Sure, but that's not the point. The point is there are too many variables when handling a weapons how it's not supposed to be handled
There aren't "too many". I can list them. A firearm is a relatively simple mechanism.
NipplesTheEnchiIada
Not pointing a gun at anything you're willing to kill is a great rule, even when it's not loaded. But you're nit-picking here.
ReadySetBake
Really? Then how do you clean it if its always live?! That's not the rule. Pretty sure the rule is 'Every gun is loaded until you check it'.
You disassemble/disable it to clean it. You don’t have to fully break it down, but you make it unable to fire. A unable to fire gun is parts
RaiderNation95209
No, the rule is always treat a gun as if it were loaded.
AdamWeishaupt23
No. Not the rule either. It's "spit before you stick".
Ididthisforthelol
Treat never keep keep. 4 rules of gun handling every owner should live by.
crann
Stroke or autocorrect? Face feeling numb?
Ramsespride
As a responsible gun owner, I know exactly what you're saying. Ignore the ignoramuses.
HowToBeSuccessfulAsaSerialKiller
That's not the rule. And when I'm cleaning my gun I treat it as loaded until it's in peices on the counter.
So you don't stand in front of a gun counter?
How many guns are pointed at you at the gun counter?
A minimum of 10 or so at any one time.
Right!? What about cleaning?
Exactly. My point is yes practice absolute safety but there is a point at which the gun is no longer live. Don't point at anything you are >
Yeah, I get that. I have a license. Watch closely; there is no live round in the chamber during the spin until the barrel is pointed 1/2
Yeah and you obviously shouldn’t have one.
Do you have one?
shhep
You clearly don't get that.
Watch the whole video. Eve on the spin, he steps out of the way. There's nothing even in the chamber until the barrel is downrange.
ZackCC
"Every gun is loaded except when you sidestep the barrel"
The rule has more nuance. Assume every gun is loaded, unless you're in the middle of reloading it and you know its empty.
IAmAGod556
As he spins he is decocking the weapon. The weapons is then extracting and ejecting the shell casing during the spin. No live round is in it
You dont have to take me through the process, I know how it works and that's not the point, the point is that there is no reason 1/2
For you to point a loaded weapon at yourself in any circumstance, just my opinion 2/2
kingbuglord
you're clearly not getting it, it's NOT loaded when pointed at him
Trust me I get it and I understand that there is no shell in the chamber while pointed at himself. My point is that there are too many 2/2
"Don't worry; it's not loaded" are the last words of quite a lot of people who accidentally shot themselves.
"I've got a gun!" are the last words of quite a lot of people using them for their intended purpose.
Yes when stupid says it. However in this case It is not physically possible to be loaded as he just fired a round and emptied the chamber.
Everyone who accidentally shoots themselves is stupid in retrospect. And every single one of them was sure it couldn't POSSIBLY be loaded.
Even with that being said though. Its irrelevant because it was never pointed at him
That vast majority of those accidents are when people think the gun is unloaded. This gun physically cannot be loaded at this point.

The gun isn't technically reloaded until it is facing the ground. That's when the new shell enters the receiver and starts to seat.
Tikityler
Please point out the moment it was pointed at him

Bacala
Even worse, it wasn’t pointed down range, where a bystander may be watching.
JustAnotherCynicToo
Second rule of gun safety: Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
BearToof
While I’d never do that, I’d also never jump out of a plane or of a cliff. As long as he’s minding safety of others, I’m okay.
TRiCKYTOAST3R
I bet you're fun at parties
krauraurgg
More fun than the guy who accidentally shoots himself in the face when playing with a gun he swore wasn't loaded.
BreakingRad
I'm not, but at least I'm alive and in one piece on the rare occasions when I go to one
esem
I see you getting baited left and right by the imgur mob and I just wanted to say I've been enjoying your responses. Keeping it light.
bosskcradossk
Unlike all the dead people at those parties
k4FoodSmasher
Mfw I realize Zombie parties are a thing.
AzgarOgly
When someone says something reasonable, saying "you must be fun at parties" is plain dumb.
tmgome905
You must be fun at parties.
AzgarOgly
From a ritual safety perspective the whole drill is an atrocity. If you take it rationally, the gun has open chamber all the circle around.
Zcarsnarl
Gatzarlok
If you take it rationally, it's slower than just cocking it normally. Plus who the fuck uses a lever action these days.
AzgarOgly
Well, all that thing is about safety. Slow or fast, the efficiency of that is a completely different matter. There are indeed better options
Gatzarlok
Oh I know it's pretty safe, you're more likely to get your fingers caught in the lever than shot yourself... but a semi-auto is the safest.
Assfullofbread
Je could only use one hand because he was riding a motorcycle. And levers are fucking cool. I got a nice little .22 it’s fun
Notme68
It's the one handed thing. Looks cool.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
Unless you fuck up.
AzgarOgly
Exactly. That's what safety rituals are for. You don't do it, even if you think you are safe and have it all covered. Because mistakes.
AliitOriShyaTalDin
Given who that is in the gif he probably had only one round loaded but I agree, it's just a bad habit to get into.
Remmon1
This. It's not loaded until it's all the way around and about to back in his hand.
KarlMoebius
It's loaded, but out of battery from about 1/4 to 1/2, but isn't brought into battery until the end.
AmericanAdvocate
You are correct. People who downvote you don't understand the difference between a "loaded" and "hot" or "ready" gun
AzgarOgly
It is loaded. It is not in a configuration when it will discharge. So technically this drill is a breach of every safety rule. //
AzgarOgly
As much as I can judge, that drill is safe if it all is done properly. But the rules do cover the cases when shooters hand slips or he //
AzgarOgly
gets distracted or otherwise safe situation turns into unsafe one. You just don't point the gun in unsafe direction.
CommunistDarthVader
It’s not loaded yet, that’s what they’re doing lol
BreakingRad
Um, I'm assuming if he's cycling another shell then it absolutely is loaded, no reason to have a loaded weapon pointed at yourself
ChrisHemsworthsBulge
The 1887 wasn't fully chambered 'til it was pointed down at the ground. Sure it's not safe, but there are certainly dumber things out there.
BreakingRad
Or maybe a little sooner maybe at your foot, or leg. Too many variables when handling a weapon like he is when it can easily kill you
ElbowDeepInMythicalCreatures
Once the shot is fired, the shell is empty as there is nothing in it. This makes the weapon safe to point wherever until chambered again.
Senderella
I could think of a couple reasons... *depression intensifies*
TheWookersquatch
It finishes loading when the lever is pulled back against the gun. That's what pushes the shell in. That happens when it's pointed away.
BreakingRad
To me loaded means there are shells or bullets in the weapon, doesn't matter when its chambered, still plenty of variables
jRockboneham
Just ask my friend who accidentally shot the wall and poached 3 of my wife’s dresses hanging in the closet on the other side with my 12 Ga.
GannoMemeSlayer
First rule of gun safety is to look down the barrel to check if it’s loaded tho
ctennessen
Maybe if you're James May yeah
tomwaits
Second rule is to make pewpew noises to alert nearby people that you are firing your weapon.
Mobius550
Obviously he means BESIDES that.
drunkbs
I use this technique.

Felberin
Often omited step is to see if the hammer hits the empty chamber when you pull the trigger
FelixG
Scurix
One of my favorite gifs
LasciviousHedgehog
Wasn't his finger in the breach and he was checking for ice in the barrel.
HtCtiwtchyk
You're not really supposed to look down the barrel under any circumstances.

Multiple redundancies
SGRogers
If you watch the video carefully, the chamber of the 1887 is empty nearly the entire time of the spin where the barrel isn't aimed downrange
Goodmerlinpeen
Nearly...
SGRogers
Even if it's not empty, the gun is out of battery, meaning it will not fire.
FallingStar7669
You are technically correct, but the point is, it's a fatal habit to get into.
SGRogers
So don't make it a habit?
FallingStar7669
... Yes... you don't make it a habit... by not allowing a gun to be pointed at you at any time, no matter what. That's... the point...
SGRogers
Watch the video. At no point is the gun pointed at him.
NapoleonDynOmite
I'm never going shooting with you. If you're gonna mince words about whether or not a gun was loaded and where the barrel was pointed
SGRogers
Not mincing words; simple observation.
SithElephant
Unless you have a misfire, fuck up, in which case you have a small fraction of a second to react before doing something lethal accidentally
SGRogers
Cool! Maybe listen for the bang and watch for the flash (meaning no misfire) before doing this reload?
LupusLilium
I agree, the weapon is considered empty. People who panic about that sort of move via someone who's trained and knowledgeable of the weapon
LupusLilium
just because it 'points at something wrong' are also people who transport weapons in the same situation laying on their side while driving
blank00009
That observation can be correct while basic gun safety principles are there because people die when they are ignored.
flawlesssoul
People die when firearms are handled normally, because they're tools designed for killing.
SGRogers
I'm not ignoring any principle; the gun is empty or out of battery until the lever is fully returned to its closed position.
OhCrapIDidntMeanToPickThisName
Every gun is live, even when it isnt.
madeaweirdcommentchangedmyname
As a rule of thumb for safety, sure. But if you're not an idiot, and you're the only one on the range, you should be aight.
alfrzernebog
He's presumably a professional and knows the risk in what he's doing. It's no different than stunt jumps or sky diving etc. Let'em have fun.
StarryPlough
Interesting understanding of a binary occurrence
Goatsarepeople
Incorrect, guns are not living things.
o4kill
I thought of a gun the other day and I think that automatically makes it loaded. Ah mon cherie brrrt, i shall return to you.
SGRogers
2/2 a fair distance away at the ground in front of the target. Even then the shotgun is out of battery and isnt likely to go off.
BreakingRad
Sure, but that's not the point. The point is there are too many variables when handling a weapons how it's not supposed to be handled
SGRogers
There aren't "too many". I can list them. A firearm is a relatively simple mechanism.
NipplesTheEnchiIada
Not pointing a gun at anything you're willing to kill is a great rule, even when it's not loaded. But you're nit-picking here.
ReadySetBake
Really? Then how do you clean it if its always live?! That's not the rule. Pretty sure the rule is 'Every gun is loaded until you check it'.
imgur1stTheory
You disassemble/disable it to clean it. You don’t have to fully break it down, but you make it unable to fire. A unable to fire gun is parts
RaiderNation95209
No, the rule is always treat a gun as if it were loaded.
AdamWeishaupt23
No. Not the rule either. It's "spit before you stick".
Ididthisforthelol
Treat never keep keep. 4 rules of gun handling every owner should live by.
crann
Stroke or autocorrect? Face feeling numb?
Ramsespride
As a responsible gun owner, I know exactly what you're saying. Ignore the ignoramuses.
HowToBeSuccessfulAsaSerialKiller
That's not the rule. And when I'm cleaning my gun I treat it as loaded until it's in peices on the counter.
Tikityler
So you don't stand in front of a gun counter?
Notme68
How many guns are pointed at you at the gun counter?
Tikityler
A minimum of 10 or so at any one time.
MissingImage
Right!? What about cleaning?
Tikityler
Exactly. My point is yes practice absolute safety but there is a point at which the gun is no longer live. Don't point at anything you are >
SGRogers
Yeah, I get that. I have a license. Watch closely; there is no live round in the chamber during the spin until the barrel is pointed 1/2
Bacala
Yeah and you obviously shouldn’t have one.
SGRogers
Do you have one?
shhep
You clearly don't get that.
SGRogers
Watch the whole video. Eve on the spin, he steps out of the way. There's nothing even in the chamber until the barrel is downrange.
ZackCC
"Every gun is loaded except when you sidestep the barrel"
SGRogers
The rule has more nuance. Assume every gun is loaded, unless you're in the middle of reloading it and you know its empty.
IAmAGod556
As he spins he is decocking the weapon. The weapons is then extracting and ejecting the shell casing during the spin. No live round is in it
BreakingRad
You dont have to take me through the process, I know how it works and that's not the point, the point is that there is no reason 1/2
BreakingRad
For you to point a loaded weapon at yourself in any circumstance, just my opinion 2/2
kingbuglord
you're clearly not getting it, it's NOT loaded when pointed at him
BreakingRad
Trust me I get it and I understand that there is no shell in the chamber while pointed at himself. My point is that there are too many 2/2
krauraurgg
"Don't worry; it's not loaded" are the last words of quite a lot of people who accidentally shot themselves.
flawlesssoul
"I've got a gun!" are the last words of quite a lot of people using them for their intended purpose.
Tikityler
Yes when stupid says it. However in this case It is not physically possible to be loaded as he just fired a round and emptied the chamber.
krauraurgg
Everyone who accidentally shoots themselves is stupid in retrospect. And every single one of them was sure it couldn't POSSIBLY be loaded.
Tikityler
Even with that being said though. Its irrelevant because it was never pointed at him
Tikityler
That vast majority of those accidents are when people think the gun is unloaded. This gun physically cannot be loaded at this point.
